DATE: October 24, 1991 County
SUBJECT: Approval of Extension of Medical Specialist Contracts
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve a two-month extension of the Medical Specialist Contracts
specified on the attached addendum for the period October 31, 1991
through December 31, 1991 and authorize the Auditor-Controller to
continue paying the Contractors listed on the attached addendum as
specified under the prior agreements which are expiring October 31,
1991.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Cost to the County depends upon utilization. As appropriate,
patients and/or third party payers will be billed for services.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
For a number of years the County has contracted withl Dental and
Medical Specialists to provide specialized professional services
which are not otherwise available in its hospital and clinics.
The usual annual term of these contracts has been November 1 -
October 31, although contracts may be added or amended, as necessary,
throughout the year. During the past year since November 1, 1990,
the Board has approved Medical Specialist Contracts for those
Contractors specified on the attached addendum, which all expire on
October 31, 1991.
The Health Services Department has not yet completed negotiations
with these Contractors. The purpose of this Board Order is to
provide a mechanism which will assure continuity of vitall services to
patients and facilitate payment to the Medical Specialists for two
additional months while avoiding the burden of paperwork required for
processing 33 short-term extensions, pending completion of contract
negotiations.
